The monetization of Active Mummy is widely criticized as a lazy and greedy cash grab, with a $5 price tag for a barely functional template-based game that quickly appeared in cheap bundles, indicating poor value and exploitative intent.
- “Active mummy is a 'template flip', meaning it's a 'game' produced by copying a game template, changing a few things, then dumping the barely functional product on Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab.”
- “This is nothing but a lazy, greedy cash grab. The $5 USD price tag for a GameMaker Studio copy+paste and the way it went into cheap game bundles very quickly confirms this and should be avoided.”
